Hotkey for Making Connections?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In my workflow I intensively connect shapes together. During most of the time, the exact positions of the connection points don't matter for me. I just want to connect shapes ASAP to sketch my ideas. However, I failed to find any hotkey that works like I'm connecting two shapes by dragging from a connect arrow. In other software like XMind I used to have a hotkey Ctrl+L which creates a connection from the selected shape and when I click on another shape, the connection is created. In draw.io it became very inefficient as clicking precisely on the arrow requires more time and concentration.
Describe the solution you'd like Add a hotkey who has the behaviors described below:
- If the user didn't select any shape or selected multiple shapes, it does nothing.
- Otherwise, when pressed, a connection operation is started, exactly like the user has been dragging from a connect arrow, except that the user doesn't have to hold any mouse button pressed.
Alternative solution Or maybe just make the connection arrows LARGER when I zoom in the canvas. It's so painful to have so ridiculously small arrows on a so large screen. Maybe this worth opening another issue.
